Before training, keep nourishment simple and familiar, and listen to your body and your trainer.
Pre-workout eating is a rabbit hole of opinions. Let's keep it simple and look at what's already in your kitchen.
What's in a typical Indian pantry?
Bananas, dates, roasted chana, makhana, nuts, seeds, poha, oats. Ordinary, brilliant and already there. Most of what you need isn't a product; it's a habit.
What do people tend to choose?
It varies enormously. Some train fasted; some like something light; some want a bite of sweetness. There's no universal rule, and anyone who claims one is overselling.
Where does a ladoo fit?
For people who like a little sweetness before training, a small Dates & Seeds ladoo is an easy, portable bite. We make no performance claims: it's simply a snack you'll enjoy, made of dates, seeds and nuts.
How do I decide?
Experiment. Try a small snack 30 to 60 minutes before training and see how you feel. Keep notes. Your body will tell you faster than any article.
